What's wrong: These vehicles were constructed with welds in the rear compartment pan assembly that are not sufficient to comply with the requirements pertaining to fuel tank leakage in the event of a rear impact collision.

The fix: Dealer will install rivets adjacent to the locations where the suspect welds are located.
